Wrasse stocking question

I have a 125gal with a 6-line wrasse and some other fish. Im just wondering if I could house another wrasse with out them fighting. I know the 6-line can get pretty territorial when it comes to other wrasses, just wondering if I could get a way with in a 125.

Unless its literally 3-4 times bigger, the 6 line WILL kill it.......

It will terrorise anything - even double its size...... and likewise will seek and destroy anything similar sized or shaped..... like grammas or hawkfish etc.

depends.... i have 4 golden, a mystery, some rare deepwater pair and litineus wrasses, however 6lines r aggressive so id agree with the other posts, but it is not impossible just complicated and prob expensive 2 find one that wont b bullied. the q is how deep is ur pocket and how many will u lose until/or if u find a survivor
